The Southern Ocean can release stored heat during cooling, creating short-term warming. This discovery shows climate recovery ...

Bottom a) temperature (°C) and c) salinity (psu) from the observational climatological mean on the continental shelf over 1975–2012 based on ref. 72 and in the abyss over 1955–2017 based on the World ...

After more than a century acting as a climate buffer, the Southern Ocean may be preparing to release a vast store of heat, ...

A new review reveals how tiny shell-building plankton quietly drive carbon cycling and influence global climate change.

A groundbreaking study in the journal Science, has unveiled how deep ocean currents—known as global overturning circulation—play a pivotal role in shaping the diversity and function of microbial life ...

Scientists may have to rethink the relationship between the ocean's circulation and its long-term capacity to store carbon, new research suggests. As the ocean gets weaker, it could release more ...

As warming weakens ocean circulation, the seas could increasingly become a source of heat-trapping gas, a new study finds. “Some climate models predict a 30 percent slowdown in the ocean circulation ...

The Southern Ocean absorbs nearly half of all ocean-stored human CO2, but its future role is uncertain. Despite models ...

For over a century, the Southern Ocean has absorbed vast amounts of carbon and heat, delaying global warming. However, new ...

Scientists use deep ocean historical records to find an abrupt ocean circulation reversal caused by greenhouse gas warming New research produced by scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at ...
